Interlocking Sheath/Dilator Assemblies

• Patented interlocking hub design that prevents dilator "push back" during insertion.
• Sheath tips have zero clearance between dilator shaft and sheath tip, which reduces the risk of "roll back" during placement.
• Easy grip T-hub provides a secure grip during peeling and removal.
• The dilator tip radius provides a smooth transition from the guidewire.
• French sizes are permanently molded on the dilator hub for easy identification.
• The PTFE peelable design permits elimination of mechanical skiving, providing a smooth and even peel.
• Compatible with most therapeutic and diagnostic catheters and guidewires.
• Standard introducers are compatible with 0.035" and 0.038" diameter guidewires.
